Moon Mausoleum

What is haunting this seemingly peaceful office building in Honolulu? There are actually many ghostly legends of it with one of the most telling claiming there is a grieving woman weeping and wandering the halls of the building. 

Walking down in the modern streets of Honolulu, haunted buildings is probably not what first comes to mind. Truth is though, on one of these streets, one of the most haunted buildings supposedly is. Many articles and stories will list the Atlas Building as one of Honolulu’s most haunted places, perhaps even the most haunted places in Hawaii. But which Atlas Building is actually the haunted one? 

The Two Different Atlas Buildings

One of the addresses the Most Haunted lists will give as the haunted Atlas Building is the one on 1150 South King Street. Today it is no longer known as the Atlas Building though, but is a newly renovated place called eleven50 Building, offering medical and professional office spaces with 12 stories. Could the shell of the building itself be the one haunted though? 

If you head a good mile westward by the Hawaii Pacific University you will reach Merchant Street. People also will list this address as the true haunted Atlas Building on 201 Merchant Street. This is where some of the many Ghost Tours of the city are headed as well.

Before this tall building was built, it was a two story building with office spaces with a white exterior on 201 Merchant Street were the Atlas insurance company, Hawaiians biggest insurance company had offices. Merchant Street was the biggest commercial center with a lot of old buildings with long stories. Could this be the place the rumors about the haunted Atlas Building come from?

The Ghosts of The Haunted Atlas Building

Residents who lived on this property before the building’s construction recount stories of a tormented spirit haunting the area—a spirit that seemingly refused to be displaced by the encroachment of urban development. But what exactly is haunting this place?

As mentioned, most legends about the haunted building talk about the ghost of a woman wandering the halls, often said to be weeping as she is grieving about something she has never gotten over.  

The Haunted Karaoke Room 2

One of the most unsettling locations within the building before it was known as the Atlas Building was a room known as Karaoke Room 2, a spot for locals seeking an evening of singing and revelry. When this was unsure, was it when the building was used as a residential building? Or after it was used as an office building as it is today. It is also worth noting we have found proof of an actual Karaoke Bar that has existed on either of the addresses.

With that being said, the room patrons often reported an inexplicable sense of unease, particularly in the women’s restroom were the numerous accounts of a ghostly apparition in the bathroom mirror. Stories of cold drafts, flickering lights, and an oppressive feeling of being watched became common among visitors.

Although Karaoke Room 2 has since moved out of the building, the stories persist, and the legacy of the ghostly sightings continues to haunt those who work and visit 1150 South King Street, or perhaps it is 201 Merchant Street. 

Even now, employees in the building occasionally whisper about unexplained phenomena—doors that open on their own, disembodied voices echoing in the corridors, and shadows flitting at the edge of their vision.
